Blogger Templates

Ugly Blogger themes are all the rage amongst people who want to target search traffic so I've created a version of Grizzly's Ugly Blogger Template for all you budding make money online people.

Basically this theme is a copy of the theme Grizzly uses on his How to Make Money Online for Beginners. It's ugly, no color at all except for the blue links, but it is optimized for SEO and has a bunch of widget spots configured exactly like Grizzly has.

So, you can see from the screenshot this theme is ugly, the only thing worth seeing is the way I've copied Grizzly's description just to make the screenshot a little bit more interesting. In the screenshot I haven't added extra widgets, but they can be added above the blog title, below the description, above the posts, in the sidebar, and in the footer. Pretty cool.


Why would you use this theme, well it's quite simple. Grizzly believes that search engines put a premium on sites that are all content, not all good looks, and the content on this template is right up at the top of the HTML.

The first thing the spider sees is the title, then the description, then the first post, then the sidebar, then the footer; it doesn't get more optimized than that.

Grizzly recommends this type of blogger template for niche sites that target specific keywords, it can be a site you make money online from, or a not for profit site, or just a personal blog, doesn't matter, it's designed to be optimized for the Google Spider, and you know what, the font is bigger, and easy for people to read as well.

To install my Grizzly Ugly Blogger Template, download the zipfile, extract the xml file, then in your Blogger Layout screen click 'Edit HTML' and browse to the file, then click upload. It doesn't get easier than that. Download Blogger Template.

If you want to know why to use this theme, you really need to check out Janet Smith Nomad's Guide to Make Money Online book. She's been making serious money from AdSense and affiliate programs by learning everything Grizzly has to teach.

Her 170 page ebook gives you step by step instructions on what you need to do to research searched keywords, then write quality content that earns you money. I bought the book last week and it's already helping me increase my earnings.

Yup, you read the title right, make money online using blogger.com, AdSense, and Janet Smith's new ebook "Nomad's Guide to Make Money Online"

I get a bit tired of people dissing Blogger.com, it's a fantastic blog platform, it's easy to use, and it's a great way to make oodles of free websites and make money from them using AdSense. Why pay for expensive domain names and hosting when Google gives us everything we need free?

Since 2006 I've been a full-time Internet Marketer, I started in 2005, and in 2006 I quit my day job. You can too. You can read more about making money online with Blogger.com, or if you're anxious get started, just buy the ebook

With the recent update of the original free HTML template that Hawaii is based on I thought I'd add the extra colorsets to my Blogger Template list.

Two versions of this template have been produced, the original content-sidebar-sidebar layout, and the sidebar-content-sidebar layout that a few Bloggers seem to prefer. The images have been uploaded to ImageShack so most Bloggers will only need to download the template files, but if you do need to host the images yourself, the zipfile for Hawaii has been updated to include all four versions of this great template and all the images.

As an interesting aside, the Elvis Presley film Blue Hawaii from 1961 which also stars Joan Blackman is one of my all time favorite films. I know it's a bit old now but it's good fun with a great soundtrack.
